January 31st and still haven’t received my w2

Actually today is Jan. 30 in the U.S.

 

Every 2019 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2019 tax return, even if they are for small amounts.  Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer.  You do not want to get in trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income.

ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.  After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.

 

 

W-2's come from your employer, and they have until Jan. 31 to issue it.  Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it.  So waiting for your employer might be your only choice now.  You might need to phone, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.

January 31st and still haven’t received my w2

As indicated by xmasbaby0 your employer is required to issue your W2 by January 31st and all of your W2's should be reported on your tax return.

 

If you do not receive one from your current or previous employer, contact the employer first.

 

If you still cannot obtain one, you have a few other options, including requesting a Wage and Income Transcript from IRS.  See these links for more information:  

 

What if I don't receive my W2?

 

Get Transcript from IRS.gov
